Question: I have the Skylanders Giants starter pack, can i play Spyro's Adventure with the new portal? Also, can you reuse a fully upgraded skylander if you bought it second hand? Finally, do you have to buy all the character's to complete the game or can you complete the game without all the characters.Answer:You can use the new portal to play the older Skylanders Spyro's Adventure game, although you will need the game disc to do this.
